I'm sure our recently adopted cats get more weird each day. Why Sky enjoys lying like this is a mystery. I suspect he just enjoys playing dead to freak me out. I love their quirky personalities 😺😺

My Mum finally received her diagnosis after suffering a heart attack on Sunday.
The angiogram indicates that the attack caused one of her arteries to become completely blocked, so it looks like she will be having a heart bypass at some point.
She has been so well cared for over at the QA hospital in Portsmouth since she was transferred on Monday.
I'm more concerned about my Dad as he's started to have a few falls in recent weeks. Just off to see him and walk their dog now. Fortunately my brother lives near Portsmouth so he can get in and see Mum, so I'm not heading over the Solent every day.
Not the Christmas that we'd planned for, but it could be worse!

Yesterday evening's Lunar Eclipse over Bembridge Lifeboat Station.

This isn't a classic Isle of Wight view, but it's a shot that my husband has been after for years.
The moon rising behind All Saints in Newchurch inspired him to bring out the telephoto lens and capture the view from a mile and a half away. He's thrilled that he captured it perfectly between the tree and the pinnacle on the roof next to the church spire. I wouldn't notice such things, but it's precisely what he wanted! This was last night, it was too cloudy on Friday #Photography #Moonrise

Moonset at the Needles, just before dawn.

The crescent moon over the West Wight last night.
Earthshine gave the appearance of the moon being full. Too dark for a decent landscape shot, but it was too good to miss!

Back on the Island after a wonderful week in Cornwall. Not a bad place to come home to. Arthur was missing the beach so I headed over to Compton Bay rather than our usual morning walk.
Back to the shop tomorrow, and for the next 51 weeks 😅

The crescent moon over the Needles, taken just before it set yesterday. The moon appears full thanks to Earthshine and the super clear conditions.
The light on the water is actually coming from Venus, which was very bright in the sky. I'll post a wider angle view shortly, where Venus is very prominent.

Last night's moonrise photographed using a telephoto lens, 2 miles away from St Catherine's Oratory.
Known locally as the Pepperpot it's a medieval lighthouse. I posted a video of this as it happened on our Available Light Gallery and Gifts Facebook page but it wouldn't upload here when I tried last night.

There's a lot of coverage about Grace by Jeff Buckley at the moment as it's 30 years old 😳
I never need an excuse to listen to it. It's got to be one of my top 10 albums.
It's sublime 💚
I'm currently lost in it for the millionth (at least 😍 😆) time.

#Sade for #TonightsCookingTunes
This takes me back to homework for my art O level. I was crap at drawing and we had to draw a portrait of someone famous. I chose to copy this album sleeve.
I'm pretty sure the album and the drawing are at my parents house somewhere. It's another one from my old record collection that I must retrieve.
I was madly in love with Mark O'Toole from Frankie Goes to Hollywood at the time and I drew a pic of him too - very badly.

Where I live! Well the town in the distance, not the pier.
#RydePier has undergone extensive renovations over the past couple of years and now has a central walkway to reach the end and the catamaran service.
We have so many photos of this scene, taken in all types of weather but none for a couple of years because of all the works going on. It's finally finished, well almost!
